UNIVERSAL PROHIBITION
Is What Canon Wilberforce Saws lis
Wanted,


NEW YORK, June ia large
audience gathered in Chickering hall
this afternoon to greet Canon Wilber-
force, of England, who was announced
to speak under the auspices of the
National Temperate society. Rev. T.
De Witt Talmage presided, and MANY
clergymen of various denominations
known i'll connection with the temper
ance cause had seats on the platform.
In Introducing the speaker, DIR. Talmage
said that the audience was glad to wei
come the canon, not because he was the
son of Bishop WilberfOrce, nor because
he was the grandson of William Wilber-
force, the great English emancipator,
but because he was as good and as
strong as either. The canon spoke for
an hour, and aWOke great enthusiasm.
Among the things he said were: The
noblest of enthusiasms is the
love OF the Lord, and the basest
the passion for drink. The only thing
that Christianity wants just now is
Christians. There are too many people
with too much religion to enjoy the
world, and too many with too much
Worldllness to enjoy religion. / feel
that III speaking in New York I am
speaking in America, and America is
the great Anglo-SaXoniZing machine of
the whole universe, and l wish to warn
you not to let the liquor traffic control
America as it controls England. There
is an aristocracy in this country, but it
IS an aristocracy of intellectual power,
OF character. of beauty and of grace. In
England we put our big brewers in the
house of commons, instead of putting
them in Jail, as they do in Maine. In
Maine they lock up the liquor before it
gets into a man, while in New York YOU
only lock it up after. There must be no
compromise, no high license, but abso-
lutte and universal prohibition.

His Skull Crushed.

CLEvELADD, June ia mysterious
murder was committed here last night.

night watchman at the foundry of E. c.
Austin d Co., on Central way, was the
victim. About o'clock this morning
Frank NOwak went to the foundry to
relieve FraZee. Not seeing the old man
when he first arrived, NoWak instituted
a search and soon found him lying on
bench near the furnace with the back
of his head crushed. He was just able
to breathe but could give no ac-.
count of his injuries. The affair is
shrouded in mystery. Frazee was not
known to have had any enemies, and
had had no trouble with anybody. His
weeks pay. which he drew last night.
was in his pocket. undisturbed. The
police have a slight clue upon which
they are working.

Elephants on a Rampage.

WELLsvILLE, O., June 19.-During
the evening performance of a circus at
New Lisbon last night panic. which
nearly resulted in much loss of life, oc-
Cured. A baby elephant, which was
performing, became unruly and at
tackled one of the clowns, njuring him
seriously. The trainer, who was com
ing into the ring with another elephant,
fastened to the clowns assistance,
when the larger animal also started OH
the rampage, causing a terrible Stam-
pede. The confusion for a time was
terrible, men, women and children
yelling and crowding for the entrance.
Quiet was finally restored, when it was
found that one young lady's leg had
been broken and several women and
children badly bruised. One of the lady

North Dakota Crops.

Special to the Globe.
MINoT, OAK, June 19.-The past three
weeks has witnessed wonderful
change and improvement in the condi-
ton of the crops along the line of the
st. Paul, Minneapolis IL Manitoba rail-
road in North Dakota. The hot and dry
weather which prevailed until May 27
has been followed by numerous and ex-
tended rains and cooler weather. and
wheat fields which looked thin and
backward now present a thrifty appear
ance, giving promise of a large yield.
In Cass and Traill counties grain is
looking finely, fully up to. the average
condition of previous years. In Grand
Forks county a little more rain in the
vicinity of Larrimore and westward to-
wards Devils Lake would be beneficial,
though the rain of some two weeks ago
greatly improved the crop outlook.
From DEVILS lake to Minot there has
been an abundance of rain, and all
kinds of grain look well. In Pierce,
McHenrE. Ward and Bottineau counties,
where the dry weather last season les
Sened the yield somewhat, the crops are
in splendid condition, and give assur-
ance of an abundant harvest.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
A Pretty Fair Average of Winter
Wheat in Most STATES.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The following is
the weekly crop summary printed by.
the Farmers Review At the date of
the meeting the winter wheat crop in
all sections has so nearly reached state
of maturity that reports show no change
in its condition and none will take
place unless hail. insects or rust shoul6
damage the rpening grain. Eight
winter wheat-growing states report the
average condition of the crop at 50 per
cent. Our reports of its condition in
the different states are as follows:
Twenty counties in Illinois report an
everage condition of SO per cent. In
SectS or draught are little complained of.
Eight counties in Indiana report the:
condition at 81 per cent. Kansas coun-
ties report no improvement in the crop.
Damage by insects is very serious in
Marshall, Smith, Franklin andS
Neosho counties. Kentucky re-
ports an average condition Of;
96 per cent, with damages by insects:
an average condition of 93 per cent.
Missouri counties report the average
condition at 100 per cent. Ten counties
in Ohio report a condition of Us per cent. i
Seven counties in Wisconsin place the
average at 93 per cent, with damage by
chinch bugs i'll Portage county. The
condition of spring wheat in the differ
ent states is as follows: Wisconsin
counties report an average condition of !
63 per cent. Seventeen counties i'm
Iowa place the average at ST per cent.
Eleven Minnesota counties report am;
average of 81 per cent. Nine Nebraska
counties place the average at 90 per
cent, and six counties in Dakota report
an average of 90 per cent. The condi-
tiOn of the oat crop, from drouth and
insects, is everywhere below the aver
age. Corn prospects are first-class.
Hay and grass are short from drouth.
Fruit prospects are fair.

CANARY BIRDS GRATITUDE.
They Flock Around Their Ship
wrecked Deliverer and Sing to

wrecked Deliverer and Sing to
Him.
The canary bird has little romance
in its history, which has poetic as well
as pathetic element in it. 1t is gener-
ally understood that the original stock
of canaries were imported from the
Canary islands in the fourteenth cen
tury. 1t is not so generally known.
however. that the ship which brought
the first consignment of these birds to
Europe was wrecked in storm on the
passage. says the st. Louis Globe DEM
Ocrat. The wreck took place on the
coast of Italy. The sailors battled val
iantly against wind and wave. but all in
vain.
Just as the ship was about to go down
one of the seamen chanced to think of
the imprisoned canarieS and rushed to
their cages, which he carried up to the
deck. A few quick, heavy blows shat
tered the lock of each cage. Then their
prison doors were thrown open and they
were set at liberty. AS they flew from
the ship the vessel settled slowly in the
water and sank. 1t is also said that the
sailor who rescued the birds from their
watery doom sprang overheard as the
ship went down and caught Oh a float
ing spar. q
There lie remained through the rest
of the day at the mercy of the elements.
The happy birds, recognizing their de-
liver, flew down and Ecircled around
him, endeavoring toKcbeer him with
their sweetest songs during his
long but unava.liflg battle against
fate. About sunset he was swept from
his perch OH the spar and sank. AS
their rescuer went down the birds sang
their most mournful notes and then flew
toward the land, settling on the Island
of Elba.
The inhabitants were; charmed with
the gay plumage and sweet song of their
feathered visitors, and the fame of the
birds soon travelled throughout Europe.
The birds themselves s0oll followed.
An Italian navigator, recognizing tlie
birds as inhabitants Of the Canary Is
lands, and realizing the commercial
value which they had now acquired.
brought a large number of them to
Europe, and since that time they have
been among the most common and most
cherished of all mans feathered favor.

SLOssoN, THE BILLIARDIsT,
Returns Suddenly from His Trip
Across the Briny.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, June 19.-When Billiard
lst George +. SloSson left this country
short time ago to pay an extended visit
to Patti and NicOlini, at their castle in
Wales, it was understood it was his in
tentlon to spend some time on the other
side to arrange matches with several of
the best foreign billiardists, VignauX
among others. His sudden return, after
an absence of but two months, causes
Specula, ion in sporting circles. ''My
trip abroad" said SlossOn to-day, ''did
not result as / expected it would, and
there being nothing to detain me, came
home. endeavored to arrange matches
in Paris and London, but my efforts re-
suited unsucceSSfully. The only games
L have played since leaving New York
were for practice while at PATHS castle,
where L was delightfully."- entertained for
weeks. went to Paris, hunted up
VlgnauX and made proposals for a
match, but we were unable to come to
settlement. From Paris | went to
London and tried to meet the English
bllllardiSt, Roberts, but we were
unable to agree upon a form of game in
winch we would have equal chances of
winning. AS English and American
views differ greatly, / proposed to
Roberts that we could merge one game
into the other by playing American
caroms upon an English table, but he
rejected the proposition. l saw Peal
and Mitchell play their great Is, 900 point
game, and it is my opinion that Peal is
the coming English player. He made
some wonderful runs, among them one
of 935 points. A tournament is to take
place during the coming week, in which
Schaefer, Sexton, Daily and myself will
take part. One series is to be played in
Chicago and the second in this city. The
game will be cushion-caroms. In case
the tournament should not come off
have challenged Daily to cushion-coroms
for $1,000 a side, the matches to take
place in Chicago and this city, but have
not yet received an answers
